Top critical review

Bought this after reading reviews and recommendations and regretted from first use. Shnuggle should update the description to allow this tub only for babies older than 2-3 months. That would of course harm their revenue but will not harm your back bending down your tub trying to hold an unsettled weak baby neck with one hand and wash with another. I found this tub is seriously dangerous for baby that cannot control their neck (they can slam their head and even drown if you leave their neck loose for a second) and definitely harmful for parents bending down on their knees extending their backs to do the washing. Better look out for angelcare bath seat if you are after something safe and easy for your newborn (and your back)

I never usually write reviews but felt a need to give this one. This bath is AMAZING! Found bath time so stressful, I'm a single mum with a now three month old boy. We don't have a bath here and the baby bath I had was awful and so hard to do alone and usually ended with us both in tears! Not anymore! This bath holds your baby so snug I only had to gently hold one arm and I wasn't even holding him up! I was able to give him a good wash all over and wasn't worried about dropping him etc.Was able to lift him in and out with ease, bath time has now become and enjoyable experience for us both and I'm already looking forward to tomorrows one! THANK YOU!!

I looked at this for a few months before deciding to buy it as I thought it was a total gimmick but I have to say I'm really glad I got it. My boy was 6lbs 10oz at birth so pretty small but he can sit up in this by himself - I've been using this since he was 10 days old. I used a normal baby bath for his first bath & it didn't go well - he was slipping & sliding everywhere. I got this and the bum wedge really works well and helps hold him upright - he does fall to the side a bit if I'm not holding him but not enough to get his face in the water. I don't need to hold on to him the whole time he's in it which means I can play with him more rather than grip on to him for dear life. I use it in my kitchen sink - it's too tall for me to comfortably use on the counter top. I would definitely recommend this as it's helped take the stress out of bathing.

I bought this instead of a traditional tummy-tub and I was extremely satisfied with this purchase overall

Pros:It is portableIt is sturdyIt encourages head supportComes with a fill lineThe raised bum bump means the baby can sit up so its easier to wash themComes in 3 coloursSaves water and retains heat wellCan be lifted onto a surface to save bending down - perfect for a c-section mum, or parents with a bad backThe foam backrest keeps the babys back comfortable and warm

Cons:Not so suitable for smaller babies (<6lb 5oz) as they slip down quite easilyWhilst the baby is very young and unable to support their own head, it takes 2 people to bathe the babyIt is very bulky and difficult to store awayThe measuring line isnt accurate whilst a baby is very small, and it is quite hard to see, so sometimes it overflows when the baby is put in it

Overall, this bath is excellent in terms of comfort, economy and practicality. I would have given it 5 stars if I was able to use it comfortably from the day I brought my baby home.

I don't usually write reviews but I absolutely love this! I have the angelcare bath support, but that requires running a lot of water in the bath and leaning over, this takes barely any water, easy to lift out of the bathroom with water, and my baby loves it! She's snug, water covers her nicely to keep her warm, she's supported so very little support required from me, meaning I can wash her with ease. I shall be buying this as gifts for expectant friends! Brilliant buy!

Like another review, which I had read but decided 'Nah I'll go with the average review'. This is no good for a newborn. Far too big and the angle / footwedge thing is highly impractical for a freshly baked baby. Led to a very stressful bathtime for m 3 week old.

I can see it being great for 2-3 months+, but one star seeing as I bought it based on the false claim it was suitable for a newborn.

We didn’t have this Shnuggle baby bath when our baby first arrived into the world but after about 6 weeks of bath times we realised we needed something different.

The tub is great as it only uses a little water rather than filling up the whole bath each night, which we were doing.I’m not too sure how confident I would feel putting a very new born in it but for us it really has helped.All our little bubba wants to do at the moment is sit up but as he cannot fully support himself I have found myself using this tub as a chair & a little paddling pool for him too.Its light weight, easily transportable & the price is a bargain in my eyes.I loved this baby product so much that I even brought one for my niece & shipped it to New Zealand.

I am not ashamed to say that some nights we cannot wait until this beauty of a tub comes out... it means we survived another day & bedtime is in sight!

One of our best buys! Our son loved this from only being a month or so old. Lasted until able to sit up and enjoy being in the big back. Definitely recommend this. We used it at first on top of the dining table (not always recommended, but saved my back). As our son got bigger we put this in the main bath to get him used to the bathroom, and then transferred him to the big bath when big enough.

Don’t know what the hype is all about with this baby bath. We only used it for 3 weeks with our new born until we binned it and bought a different style of bath. Our son was not comfortable when sat in the bath and it was difficult to support him and wash him at the same time. A friend has recently had the same experience with her purchase of the shnuggle bath so it isn’t just us.

Hi, thank you for your review and we're sorry it didn't work out for you. All babies are different so sometimes it won't be suitable for you. Thankfully most babies do love using the bath and find it makes bathtimes more fun and safer. We hope you found a suitable alternative. Kind regards, Team Shnuggle
